After thinking some more I've found that fake cells may be absolutely
0-width, look at the following example to get the idea:
.TS
allbox;
cclzw(-6000u)
cc^
cc^
cc^
ccl
cc^
cc^
cc^
cc^
cc^.

.TE
Note negative width specified in last column to return back.
Here is vertically spanned fake cells, and no need to manually draw boxes
with "|" and "_" around table.
